By the President of the United States of America —A proclamation : It has long been the pious cus tom of our people, with the closing of the year, to look hack upon the blessings brought to them in the changing course of the seasons, and to return solemu thanks to the Ali Giving Source from whom they flow. Aad although at this period when the falling leaf admonishes us that the time ot our sacred duty is at hand, our nation still lies in the shadow of a great bereavement, and the mourn ing which has filled our hearts, still finds Its sor rowful expression toward the God before whom we but lately bowed in grief and supplication. Yet the countless benefits which have showered upon us during the past twelve months call for our fervent gratitude, and make it fitting that we should rejoice with thankfulness that the Lord in IBs infinite mercy has most signally favored our country and our people. Peace without and pros perity within havy been vouchsafed to us. No pestilence has visited our shores. The abundant privileges of freedom, which our fathers left us in their wisdom, are still our increasing heritage. And if, in parts of our vast domain, some affliction has visited our brethren in their forest homes, yet even this calamity has been tempered and in a man ner sanctified by the generous compassion for the suffers which lias been called forth throughout our land. For all these things it is meet that the voice of the nation should go up to God in devout hom age. Wherefore I, Chester A. Arthur, President of the United States, do recommed that all the peo ple observe Thursday, the24th day of November, iust., as a day of national thanksgiving and prayer, by ceasing so far as may bo, from their secular la bors and meeting in their several places of worship, there to join in ascribing honor and praise to Al mighty God, whose goodness has been so manifold in our history and in our lives, and offering earnest prayers that Ilis bounties may continue to us and to our children. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the seal of the United States to be affixed Doue at the city of Washington, this fourth day of November, in the year of our Lord 1881, and of the independence'of the United States, 106. [Signed] CHESTER A. ARTHUR. By the President. JAMES G. BI.AINE, Secretary of State. The Syracuse Journal believes that the presence of President Arthur in New York saved the Republican State ticket. "He stopped the selling out of the State ticket," says the Journal , "and restrain ed the local aspirants for office from their ruinous policy. To these efforts, in which the President was heartily second ed by the best mni in the city organiza tion, is due the favorable shaping of Re publican party all'iirs here. Like service of not less imn.rtauce was done in Brooklyn, and aided materially in the ex cellent political results there. There were also difficulties in the interior which threatened bad results. These troubles were taken in hand, and in part so far as General Arthur had power, were regulated. He caused agents to be sent into Wadsworth's congressional district and Pitts' senatorial district to stop the stalwart efforts therein being made for the defeat of the Republican nominees. This movement was useful is aiding Wadsworth's election and was wholly successful in securing Pitts' re-election to the Senate. During the days that the body of Pres ident Garfield lay in state in Cleveland a woman annoyed the widow and friends with whom she was then staying by most persistent efforts to get Queen Victoria's wreath and some of the other floral relics from the catafalque, for the purpose, as she then represented, of embalming and preserving the flowers for Chicago ladies to present to Mrs. Garfield. She was frequently rebuffed, but finally procured a card from Stanley Brown to the Mayor of the city from whom she succeeded in getting a number of the floral pieces. She took them to Chicago and now has ad vertised them for sale, claiming to have paid several thousand dollars for them. Thousands -of girls in Switzerland, Germany, and Norway devote themselves to the cultivation of their hair as reso lutely as a farmer does his crops. Once a year the merchant, very often an old woman, arrives in the village, and a brisk trade is carried ou. The Swiss girls make , the most, as nature has bestowed on them an abundant crop of the blonde col or, which is hardest of all to obtain, and the climate is evidently propitious to its growth. The price obtained depends up -1 on the length of the redundant tresses. Ilair eight inches lon- is worth twenty -1 five cents au ounce, while that thirty-six ! inches in length will bring the fortunate possessor $8 an ounce, and in cases of 1 exceptional beauty and thickness even i $35 an ounce may be realized. "In my old age," says Thurlow Weed, , "I have no care. The only survivors of . my boyhood playmates and those I knew 1 jn young manhood are Theodore S. Fax r ton, formerly mayor of Utica, who is two 1 years older than I am; ex-Lieutenant- Governor Addiso:: Gardiner of Rochester, - about my own age, and Mr. Hill, a retir } ed merchant of Boston, !o w living in t ) Weymouth, Mass. The latter culled on . me a few weeks ago. We had not met i before for seventy-two years." Advices from Cape Coast Castle dated ■ October 17, states that information has been received there that the king of Ash antee has killed two hundred young girls t for the purpose of using their blood for - mixing mortar to repair one of the State • buildings. The report of the massacre was received from a refugee who was to have been one of the victims. It receives some confirmation also in the fact that such wholesale massacres are known to he a custom with the king. Another curiosity has been developed in the Patti visit to this country. Max Maretzek lias sued her in the sum of $30,- 000 for an alleged breach of contract to sing in Mexico, twenty years ago. A revolution in that country prevented the fulfillment. The great Kufus Choate, years ago, told a client that man has "as unbounded a right to sue as he has to lie whipped in a suit." Whether this case will illustrate that theory or not remains to be seen. Ducks, Chickens and Turkeys, dressed and alive, wanted all through the winter at E. F, DTTMCII & Co.
